Terms of Use

1. About these Terms

This website is operated by Argus Minerals Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Argus Minerals”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. Business information only

This website provides general corporate, product, application and supply information for business and professional users. Its content does not constitute technical, engineering, formulation, legal, regulatory, financial or other professional advice, and should not be relied on as a substitute for independent evaluation.

3. No offer or binding specification

Website content is not an offer to sell, a quotation, a product warranty, or a binding product specification. Product characteristics, availability, suitability, origin, packaging, pricing, lead times and supply terms are subject to confirmation. Any sale or supply is governed only by the applicable quotation, order acceptance, specification, contract, certificate or other commercial document agreed in writing. If those documents conflict with this website, the agreed commercial documents prevail.

4. Customer evaluation and suitability

Mineral performance can vary with formulation, processing conditions, equipment, end use and regulatory requirements. Customers are responsible for their own testing, qualification, approvals and determination that a product is suitable, safe and compliant for the intended application and market. Samples and technical discussions are for evaluation and do not replace that responsibility.

5. Permitted use

You may view, download and print reasonable extracts from the website for legitimate internal business evaluation, provided that you do not alter the content or remove notices. You must not:

• use the website unlawfully, fraudulently or in a manner that infringes another person’s rights;
• interfere with the website’s security, availability or operation, or attempt unauthorised access;
• introduce malicious code, scrape the website at an unreasonable rate, or use automated means in a way that burdens our systems;
• misrepresent your identity, affiliation or authority; or
• copy, republish, sell or commercially exploit substantial website content without our written permission.

6. Intellectual property

The website and its text, design, graphics, logos, trade names, photographs and other content are owned by or licensed to Argus Minerals and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. “Argus Minerals” and the Argus Minerals logo may not be used without prior written permission. No licence is granted except the limited right to use the website in accordance with these Terms.

7. Information you submit

You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is accurate, lawful and that you are authorised to provide it. Unless we have signed a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement covering the information, website and email inquiries should not include trade secrets, proprietary formulations or other highly sensitive material. Submission of an inquiry does not create a confidential, agency, partnership, advisory or contractual relationship.

8. Website availability and accuracy

We aim to keep the website useful and accurate, but content may be incomplete, outdated or contain errors. The website is provided on an “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties concerning accuracy, completeness, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website without notice.

9. Third-party links

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only. We do not control or endorse third-party content, products, security or privacy practices and are not responsible for them. Access to third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Argus Minerals and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, production, opportunity, data or goodwill, arising from or connected with the website or reliance on its content. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. International use and trade compliance

You are responsible for complying with laws applicable where you access or use this website. References to products or markets do not mean that a product is available, approved or lawful in every jurisdiction. Any transaction remains subject to applicable import, export, sanctions, trade-control, regulatory and documentation requirements.

12. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data in connection with the website and our business activities.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual dispute arising from or connected with the website are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Subject to any different dispute-resolution provision in an applicable commercial agreement, the courts of Hong Kong have exclusive jurisdiction.

14. General provisions

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page; continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
